{"product_id":"9781860772542","title":"A History of Kettering","description":"\u003cp\u003eA new history of this Northamptonshire town, which has too often been overlooked.  The author, one of the county's foremost historians, traces the town's fortunes, from its 18th-century weaving industry. The industry faltered, and Kettering, where the Baptist Missionary Society was founded in 1792, became a centre of religious dissent.  Its connection in 1857 to the railway system, on the Leicester-Hitchin line, transformed it; the footwear trade developed and blossomed, and Kettering patented the rivetting of heavy-duty boots.  More recently, the town has been involved in engineering and the clothing industry.  A welcome addition to the 'Past' series.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"British Association Local History","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039463981296,"sku":"9781860772542","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781860772542_p0.jpg?v=1763600019","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781860772542","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
